Feeding

Vinny created the topic: Feeding

So my choices have grown pretty well. I do Hikari gold daily. I also have frozen bloom worms and brine shrimp I do once every couple weeks. Once a week I add some freeze dried krill and freeze dried meal worms. Question is can I do the freeze dried meal worms and krill more often? Also I read once soaking the krill in a salt mix to fight infection. Should I soak some krill every few weeks just as somewhat of a precaution? If so how do I actually do so at what mix?

Twice a year my fish get epsom salt soaked feed for 5 consecutive days, just as a precautionary measure. Frozen food is low in nutrition and mostly moisture. Freeze drieds are far superior. I would be careful with high protein feed for omnivorous cichlids. A weekly treat at most. FD krill is great, a high protein level, but also very high in fiber. High quality pellet is all you need for a staple. A good dose of veg based food in the mix will keep fish healthy. For an additive use Boyd's VitaChem, a liquid vitamin supplement. Works best on the krill.
